Description: Our organization is a web-based group focused on preventing and eventually completely stopping puppy mills. Puppy mills are places where dogs are kept in insanely bad conditions. They usually have small cages, don’t get a lot to eat, and are forced to breed. In many situations, the breeding animals are often killed after they are no longer fertile. The conditions they live in are shockingly unhealthy for the dogs also. The facilities may be overly cold or hot depending on the season, and diseases are common due to poor hygiene and cleaning. The object of the owners of puppy mills is to breed dogs quickly, however it is not a safe or proper way to do that. Although the result is millions of puppy litters each year, the dogs aren’t happy, and puppy mills aren’t politically correct or ethical.
Goal: Our goal is to help the unfortunate dogs that are suffering from abuse by people. This is very important to the dogs that are suffering and breeding constantly. We want people to know that this is really happening and we want to give people a choice if they want to help out of if they would like to watch these innocent animals dying everyday. The conditions and habitats they are used to are unbearable and we want you to be acknowledged about it. We want to prevent Puppy Mills from continuing and spread awareness about this situation.
Target Audience: Our target audience contains a wide variety of animal lovers, or people against animal abuse. Volunteers of any reasonable age are welcome to keep the puppies out of further harms way. Many schools, groups and businesses have helped us get the word out on how puppy mills have been hurting animals around America, and we plan to get even more help to spread awareness.
Future Projects: In the future, we plan to spread awareness about the inhumane way puppy mills operate. We also plan to gain the trust of the fellow animal lovers out there and let them know that imprisoning puppies is not the proper way to treat animals at all. Future plans of ours do include shutting down puppy mills, but since they are hard to get shut down, we want to spread awareness about the pain they are causing other animals around the country in the meantime. With enough support from our volunteers and incoming volunteers, we can shut puppy mills that really seem to be hurting the puppies. Shutting down puppy mills is our ultimate goal for the future.
Background History: Puppy mills began right after World War II, during the Great Depression, the farmers who needed money kept puppies and sold them for money while they weren't educated about canine health. This caused a problem for the animals that were sick being sold to other people, because the people they bought them from just wanted money and they didn't know any veterinarians to help them. To save the farmers, during the Great Depression, they used chicken coups to hold the puppies in. Then, in the 1950’s, regular stores, like supermarket and clothing stores, started selling birds and dogs in horrible conditions. This was mostly happening in the Midwest. In Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Amish farmers were high scale dog breeders that became Puppy Mills.
Success Stories: No More Puppy Pain has successfully spread awareness about puppy mills to people in over 40 states. Our organization has educated children in schools about purchasing puppies from breeders or organizations, and not pet stores, because many pet stores buy dogs from puppy mills. Also, we have held several meetings in workplaces and business, to teach about the things people can do to stop puppy mills. In 2010, in partnership with the ASPCA, we educated over 200 separate schools, businesses, and other organizations about the harmful ways in which puppy mills operate. We rely solely on volunteers, and we are so grateful for their undying support.
Contact Info: You can reach us on our website, by email, by phone, or by visiting us at our offices across the nation.
